SO THERE ARE THESE GUYS NAMED THE SOCIETY OF FRIENDS
BECAUSE FRIENDSHIP IS MAGIC im dumb ill stop uh
the society of friends are i think more commonly known as the Quakers
and they followed this guy named George Fox
His name is Fox now
SO HE GREW UP IN ENGLAND ABOUT THE TIME OLIVE WAS CHILLIN OUT
so fox didn’t like hypocrites
you know
hypocrites like some of the puritans
BECAUSE A LOT OF THE PURITANS WERE CHRISTIANS ON THE OUTSIDE BUT NOT THE INSIDE WHICH IS LIKE THE ENTIRE POINT
nice job puritans yay
HE CALLED THESE GUYS “PROFESSORS” BECAUSE HE SAID THAT THEY WOULD DO ONE THING AND THEN THEY GET ALL “LOLNOPE”
so he started going around england trying to find some cool Christians
and people were like “calm down bro just get married or smoke or something”
and he was like “NO”
so he kinda totally turned over to God
ok
And he started believing that God was talking to him???
ok
SO HE KINDA HAD A CRAZY CONVERSION EXPIRENCE THING
ok
AND EVEN THOUGH HE WASN’T EXACTLY TRAINED TO BE A PASTOR HE DIDN’T REALLY CARE
ok
well thats pretty cool i guess
HE LIKED TO KEEP THINGS PRETTY SIMPLE
which i guess is pretty cool too
HE GOT HIMSELF A MEETING HOUSE THING AND THERE WEREN’T REALLY FORMAL SERVICES.
OR PRIESTS.
OR ANYTHING
ok
THESE GUYS WERE THE QUAKERS
ok
A LOT OF PEOPLE LIKED HIM BECAUSE THE ENGLISH CIVIL WAR WAS LIKE “BRAAAAAW” RIGHT NOW
thats a good reason to like someone
AND IN 1660 ABOUT 50,000 WERE QUAKERS. ER, FRIENDS. WHATEVER.
fox was pretty humble still
ok that’s actually pretty cool because obvious reasons
NOW NOT EVERYONE REALLY LIKED GEORGE
BECAUSE GEORGE DIDN’T LIKE THEM I GUESS?
whenever he ran into these people he was beaten and pushed down stairs
i warned you about the stairs bro i told you dog
ok i’m sorry nobody gets my jokes anyway sigh
A LOT OF PEOPLE WERE REALLY OFFENDED
BECAUSE HE DIDN’T LIKE TO TIP HIS HAT AT PEOPLE.
BECAUSE I DON’T KNOW????
BUT THEY WERE REALLY REALLY OFFENDED THEY WERE LIKE “DUDE LOVE ME” “NO IT’S AGAINST MY RELIGION” “LOOVE MEEE” “GO AWAY” “WITHOUT LOVE I WILL DIE” “GET OUT”
ok
SO EVENTUALLY GUY ENDED UP IN PRISON????
BECAUSE HE DIDN’T TIP HIS HAT TO PEOPLE?????
SEEMS LEGIT
THE QUAKERS WERE ALSO PERSECUTED
nice job everyone
BUT EVERYONE WAS KINDA SCARED THAT THE QUAKERS WERE GOING TO TRY TO OVERTHROW OLIVE
but they really weren’t going to because he was like politics what are politics thats dumb
OLIVE STARTED PERSECUTING THE QUAKERS BECAUSE HE WAS A GENIUS
HE FOUGHT FOR RELIGIOUS FREEDOM. YOU KNOW. FOR THE PEOPLE WHO THOUGHT JUST LIKE HIM.
and fox was like “uh excuse me what is this”
ok
SO FOX DECIDED HE’D GO OVER TO MERICUH
and he did
IN 1677
AND ONE OF HIS BUDDIES WAS NAMED WILLIAM PENN
HAVE YOU HEARD OF HIM
YOU HAVE NOW. WE’LL TALK ABOUT HIM LATER.
so eventually fox went back to england
AND HE GOT THROWN INTO PRISON
AGAIN
AND SO DID HIS WIFE
oh he got married ok
SO HE WROTE SOME STUFF AND THEN HE WAS LET OUT YAY
so eventually the quakers were accepted with the Act of Toleration, which released most of them from prison and let them worship kinda sorta?????
OK
THEY OPENED SOME SCHOOLS AND HOSPITALS
THAT’S NICE
AND IN 1691 THERE WERE ABOUT 100,000 QUAKERS
OK
THEN
THEN I GUESS HE DIED
AND THE QUAKERS LIVED ON
WELP.
AWKWARD ENDS. SHORT POSTS. THAT’S NICE.

APPLAUSE AND CLIFFHANGERS YAY
I GOTTA FEELIN’ THAT THIS IS GONNA BE A LONG ONE
because were talking about the english civil war
AND IF YOU DON’T KNOW WHAT A CIVIL WAR IS, THEN GO GOOGLE IT GENIUS.
ok now this was pretty complicated
EVEN BETTER
so two guys!
KING CHARLES I AND OLIVER CROMWELL.
charles thought dictators were cool but it was hard for him to be one and oliver thought they weren’t but it was easy for him
THAT DIDN’T MAKE MUCH SENSE????
ok so a while back we were talking about elizabeth
SHE GOT KNOCKED OFF THE THRONE, AND THEN JAMES I WAS KING.
then he died as people tend to do
HIS SON CAME INTO POWER
his name was charles
AND HE WAS A LOT LIKE HIS DADDY
because he believed in the divine appointment of kings
MEANING HE THOUGHT HE WAS GOD’S GIFT TO HIS COUNTRY BASICALLY
now this is not a bad thing in and of itself but he was also one of those people who
THOUGHT EVERYTHING HE SAID WAS TRUE
ok thats wrong and england didn’t like it
ENGLAND WAS NOW CALLED AN ABSOLUTE MONARCHY.
so the people didnt really have much say in anything at all
NOW THEY COULD NO LONGER ELECT MEMBERS OF PARLIAMENT.
now for those of you who dont know what parliament is go sit over with the “civil war wat” people and just google it
THE KINGS WERE SUPPOSED TO WORK WITH THE PARLIAMENT FOR IMPORTANT STUFF
however guess how many times charlie here called parliament up all like “wat do hlap”
HE DID NOT ASK PARLIAMENT FOR THEIR SAY ON ANYTHING FOR 11 YEARS
this was not a good thing because lots and lots of money was spent on wars
WHAT HAPPENS WHENEVER YOU SPEND LOTSA MONEY ON WAR? TAXES!
thnx king charlie
HE DID CALL PARLIAMENT INTO SESSION ONCE. GUESS WHAT HE SAID. “AHSKDFJHAWKJEHNFKAJSDJ HALP WERE OUT OF MONEY GUYS THIS IS YOUR FAULT”
he had divided the members of parliament into two groups.
THESE TWO GROUPS HE HAD DIVIDED WOULD BE THE PEOPLE THAT LIKED HIM AND THE PEOPLE THAT DIDN’T. THOSE WHO BELONGED TO THE FIRST GROUP WERE CALLED “THE ROYALISTS” OR “THE CAVALIERS”.
they were called the cavaliers because they were. they. were cavaliers. and they liked the king yay question mark no thats a bad thing
AND AGAINST THE KING WERE THE “PARLIAMENTARIANS”. MOST OF THESE WERE PURITANS. THEY WERE NICKNAMED “ROUNDHEADS”
i dont even????? ok apparently they didn’t like the cool hair like the cavaliers and they looked like that one kid from that old nick show
look visual representation
IN 1642 THE PARLIAMENT WAS KIND OF TAKEN OVER BY THE ROUNDHEADS FOR THE NEXT 20 YEARS
this was nicknamed the long parliament
CHARLES HAD NO CONTROL OVER THIS.
and now the war started
THE FIRST WAR WAS HELD IN THE SAME YEAR. IT WAS RATHER SMALL AND NORMAL PEOPLE STAYED OUT OF IT, MORE OR LESS.
however after a while they started getting involved.
THE ROUNDHEADS HAD FARMHANDS AND OTHER WORKING PEOPLE. THE CAVALIERS WERE NOW NOBLES, CATHOLICS... AND THE IRISH???
war raged on for a while
FOUR YEARS, TO BE EXACT. ABOUT TEN PERCENT OF THE POPULATION DIED.
and ok even though this is a civil war the scottish came
NOW THE ROUNDHEADS WERE BEING HELPED BY THE SCOTTISH
in the battle of nayseby some serious stuff went down
IN 1645, CHARLIE RAN AWAY TO... TO. TO SCOTLAND.
uh i dont get it why did he go there???
THIS ENDED THE FIRST CIVIL WAR.
while in scotland, charlie tried to kinda calm the scottish down? that didn’t really work. Nobody trusted him (duh) because he wasn’t really into the whole religious freedom.
THE SCOTTISH TURNED AGAINST CHARLIE
he eventually gathered up a little army.
THEN HE STARTED THE 2ND CIVIL WAR. IT LASTED LESS THAN A YEAR AND ENDED THE SAME WAY AS THE FIRST
lets have some applause for charlie here
CHARLIES WAS CAPTURED THIS TIME, THOUGH, BY THE SCOTTISH. WHO GAVE HIM TO THE ENGLISH. WHO ARRESTED HIM.
ok so these people from parliament showed up
THE PARLIAMENT DECIDED WHAT WOULD HAPPEN TO CHARLIE. THEY THOUGHT KILLING HIM WAS A GOOD PLAN.
he was sentenced to death for treason hey at least it wasn’t heresy.
HE WAS PUBLICLY EXECUTED IN 1649.
now this should have ended the war right ok bad guy leader died now lets all sit back and drink tea in the rain and then 30 minutes later it'll snow and then 5 minutes after that it'll get sunny
HOWEVER, THERE WERE STILL TWO SIDES. THE IRISH DECIDED THEY WOULD JOIN THE CAVALIERS, AND THE SCOTTISH THE ROUNDHEADS.
so now that we got this under our belt, what about that other guy?
OLIVER. HE WAS BORN INTO A PURITAN FAMILY AND WAS PRETTY NORMAL.
he was a pretty chill guy who didn’t like politics much
THEN HIS BUDDIES SENT HIM OFF TO PARLIAMENT.
he had no training.
AND HE WAS A ROUNDHEAD, EVEN THOUGH HE WAS A PURITAN. AND HE WAS ALSO A GENERAL. AND A SOLDIER. AND A STATESMAN.
even though he was poorly educated he was still really really good at those things
AND HE ALSO MADE SURE HIS SOLDIERS PRAYED AND WORSHIPED GOD.
because he believed that would make them good soldiers
THEY WERE NEVER BEATEN, EVEN THOUGH THEY WERE USUALLY OUTNUMBERED.
and even though he was really awesome and stuff bad things happened
A MASSACRE HAPPENED.
yeah
CROMWELL DECIDED TO KILL A BUNCH OF IRISH. INCLUDING CIVILIANS. AND MOSTLY CATHOLIC PRIESTS. AND BY NOW ABOUT 2/3 OF IRELAND WAS IN ENGLAND’S HANDS. 600,000 PEOPLE DIED FROM EITHER DISEASE, STARVATION, OR JUST STRAIGHT UP MURDER/WAR.
gee cromwell sounds great
HE CALLED THIS GOD’S JUDGEMENT
oh even better
EVENTUALLY, HE HELPED PARLIAMENT ESTABLISH A COMMONWEALTH.
go join your civil war and parliament buddies at google. it’s fine. no rush. i’ll wait here.
THIS WAS GOOD FOR A TEMPORARY SOLUTION. BUT THEN OLIVE KINDA OVERTHREW THE COMMONWEALTH AND TRIED OUT A NEW PLAN.
he made this new form of government
THIS WAS CALLED A PROTECTORATE. WHICH WAS BASED ON A WRITTEN CONSTITUTION. GUESS WHO THE OVERSEER WAS?
olive
NICE GOIN’ OLIVE.
now the puritans were happy because they were ruled over by a puritan
HE MADE SOME MORAL LAWS THE LINED UP WITH HIS PERSONAL BELIEFS AND THESE WERE CALLED “BLUE LAWS”
because they were printed on blue paper
NOW HE WAS PRETTY OK MOST OF THE TIME, BUT HE STARTED KINDA ACTING YOU KNOW LIKE AN ABSOLUTE MONARCH???
wow hey standing ovation
HE STARTED KIND OF LIVING LIKE A KING.
some called him a dictator (hint he kinda was.)
HE KEPT HIS POSITION FOR 15 YEARS.
it was pretty hard on him because it was hard to keep everyone happy.
HE WAS NEARLY ASSASSINATED ACTUALLY AND LOTS OF PEOPLE REALLY REALLY HATED HIM.
then there was another change of government!
THEY GOT A KING BACK
BUT NOT BEFORE ANOTHER CIVIL WAR.
I SCREWED IT UP SIGH I HAD ALL THE IMPORTANT STUFF IN CAPS AND THE LESS IMPORTANT IN NOT AND THEN I HAD TO SCREW EVERYTHING UP SIGH OK OH WELL ALRIGHT IT’S THE END ANYWAY
CLIFFHANGER I GUESS
because were talking about the english civil war
AND IF YOU DON’T KNOW WHAT A CIVIL WAR IS, THEN GO GOOGLE IT GENIUS.
ok now this was pretty complicated

AWESOME SCIENCE GUY.
OK SO THE CIVIL WAR WAS REALLY COMPLICATED THE ENGLISH CIVIL WAR BY THE WAY
but a few people still did stuff
ONE OF THE PEOPLE THAT DID STUFF WAS NAMED ROBERT BOYLE. HIS NEW NAME IS ROB.
and rob was a scientist. a chemist, actually.
HE WAS THE FIRST MODERN CHEMIST.
and he was from ireland from a really really big family
HIS FAMILY WAS ACTUALLY SUPPORTIVE OF HIS ACADEMIC ENDEAVOURS WOW THIS IS GREAT AND KINDA REFRESHING
he also was into fencing and dancing and stuff
AND HE MOVED TO SWITZERLAND.
he was also a christian
IN GENEVA HE THOUGHT THE WORLD WAS GOING TO END BECAUSE A CHRISTIAN
seems about right
HE WAS LEFT A LARGE ESTATE BY HIS FATHER. HE COULD PRETTY MUCH DO WHATEVER HE WANTED BECAUSE HE HAD MONEY NOW.
he decided he’d join some cool secret society people
THESE COOL PEOPLE WERE CALLED THE INVISIBLE COLLEGE
this grew to become the royal society of london
THE ROYAL SOCIETY OF LONDON SOUNDS REALLY PRESTIGIOUS BECAUSE IT WAS.
now robbie had some nice connections because obvious reasons
HIS CONNECTIONS ALLOWED HIM TO BUILD A LABORATORY IN LONDON. WHICH IS WHERE HE MOVED.
he was pretty cool and figured stuff out
HE ALSO FIGURED OUT ELEMENTS WHICH WAS REALLY IMPORTANT
and a lot of other stuff that you can read about on google and wikipedia because you should know how to use the internet genius
COLOUR, CRYSTALS, REFRACTION, AND HYDROSTATICS OH MY.
i use british spelling yolo
HE ALSO AN ALCHEMIST THING SORT OF****** (hey guys asterisks means there’s a note at the end on this kthnx)
alchemy is cool don’t hate
ALCHEMY WAS KIND OF ILLEGAL BUT HE STILL DID IT ANYWAY.
nice job robbie
ALSO IF YOU DON’T KNOW WHAT ALCHEMY IS GOOGLE IT BECAUSE I’M TOO LAZY TO EXPLAIN IT
he also played with air stuffs
AND HE LEARNED THAT A MOUSE WOULD FAINT FROM LACK OF OXYGEN
absolute genius
HE EVEN HAS A LAW NAMED AFTER HIM WHICH I CAN’T EVEN WIKIPEDIA HELP ME
“Boyle's law (sometimes referred to as the Boyle–Mariotte law) states that the absolute pressure and volume of a given mass of confined gas are inversely proportional, if the temperature remains unchanged within a closed system.[1][2] Thus, it states that the product of pressure and volume is a constant for a given mass of confined gas as long as the temperature is constant. “
THAT’S PRETTY COOL. IT EVEN HAS A NICE LITTLE GRAPHIC GIFY
note totally stolen for wikipedia /because i’m a cheater./
ROBBIE ALSO USED A LARGE CHUNK OF HIS FORTUNE TO HAVE THE BIBLE TRANSLATED INTO LIKE 5 DIFFERENT LANGUAGES.
actually it was exactly five that’s cool
HE NEVER MARRIED, BUT HE DID LIVE WITH HIS SISTER.
in his last years he was writing lectures
THESE LECTURES FROM THE LAST PART OF HIS LIFE WERE CALLED THE “BOYLE LECTURES”
hey we got somethin in common we’re great at naming things yep
WOW THAT WAS REALLY SHORT.
basically
HE WAS REALLY AWESOME.
THE END.
Note:
Hey guys! Did you know you can be an alchemist AND A CHRISTIAN WOW THAT’S CRAZY
because robbie here was not relying on mysticism like most alchemists
he was a scientist who just so happened to be into alchemy
And God.
he just broke like 5 stereotypes at once there.
mysticism =/= science
science = good
mysticism = bad scary no
alchemy + science = ok
alchemy + mysticism = not ok
thank you everyone
if unsure, consult an alchemist
but a few people still did stuff
